WorldRemit adds new online payment option to its suite of solutions

The new payment method is called Sofortbanking and it enables consumers to make online payments without using their credit/debit card by linking with their online banking and transferring the funds directly from the account (view press release). The new service is available in the UK, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Italy and Poland.

The service is, according to WorldRemit, the most popular payment method in Germany and the only direct bank transfer method in the UK that provides instant payment confirmation and authorisation. WorldRemit is currently promoting the payment method in the UK by offering clients lower fees for using the payment option.
